This room was really nice, the restroom was a bit small, but the staff was super friendly. There’s no central ac, but it does get super cold at night with the ac unit in the room. Even though we got a room with highway noise for the view, we hardly heard any noise. The windows were incredible for that. The bed was the best part of this room and the tv had streaming services. Overall, the stay was perfect for where we needed to go as it was literally close to everything we needed to visit.
